That's what I got. Since they bill it as a "technical resource CD" they likely include everything, because the point of filling out the form was to convince them that

A) you're technical.
B) you already have working Linux and general computer knowledge
and
C) you may be in a position to sing the gospel of SuSe 9.1 to the purchasing powers at your work or school.

I remember when Sun offered a very similar package back in 1995, "for personal use only." for "the cost of media" they would send you the full CD set and manuals for the current Solaris Server edition. "cost of media" was 15 or 20 bucks. At the time, it was unheard of.

Just to let folks know, I visited and signed up for Novell's freebies the day they were posted. Imagine my surprise when I received 3 (count 'em, 3!) DVDs of complimentary Suse goodness from the nice folks at Novell by regular mail. No costs, no hassles... Gotta love free goodies!
TThe Dawg!

I have finally recieved an email saying that they have sent the packages, and that I will recieve them shortly. I am looking forward to getting them, I bought a DVD-ROM just for it! I think it is great what Novell is doing, I don't care if I am being bought out, it works out best for me!

No, no cripple-ware! The three DVDs include functional copies of the Suse Enterprise Server, Suse 8.2 Pro with the ximian desktop and a full Suse 9.1 Pro install. Of the 3, only the 9.1 Pro DVD is bootable. For the rest, you have to burn your own cd's from the iso images provided on the DVD's. Of course, unless you want to run the Eenterprise Server, there's really no reason to bother with anything but the 9.1 Pro install, anyway. 9.1 Pro does include 2 apps that are trial versions: a copy of textmaker, and an eval version of MainActor. These 2 items are the same if you purchase 9.1 pro. All in all, a nice package, especially for the money, LOL!
Woof!
